You waited inside and my body turned roundThen you came from the heavens to this earthly groundIn the first hours the world seemed brand new

After the first week I still just stared at you

And you grew............

One month old and sleeping with grace

Two months old - Maui sun on your face

Three months old with pretty pierced ears

Four months old, smiling brings happy tears

At five months you're sitting and growing

Six months in mid-October, glowing

Seven months old and beginning to crawlEight months - naked time feels best of allAt nine months your tenth airplane rideTen months - your mouth has two teeth inside!Eleven months old and walking aroundAlmost a year and my awe is profound
